Detectives from the Investigation Division of the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff served a search warrant on July 7, 2022, at a residence in Martinez.
At that time, they arrested 39-year-old Christopher David Owens of Martinez.
Detectives identified Owens as the suspect in sexual assaults that occurred in the Pacheco area this year.
During the investigation, detectives worked with other local law enforcement agencies, which identified Owens as a suspect in their cases.
These include:
- A rape that occurred in Walnut Creek in March 2017
- A rape in Concord in August 2017
- An attempted rape in Pleasant Hill in October 2020
Owens was booked into the Martinez Detention Facility on numerous sexual assault and other felony charges. He is currently being held in lieu of $8 million bail.
Detectives presented the case to the Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office on Monday, July 11, 2022. He was charged with numerous felonies to include three counts of rape, assault with intent to commit rape, forced oral copulation, sexual penetration by a foreign object, elder abuse, and sexual battery.
The cases remain under investigation. Detectives believe there may be additional victims. Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office Investigation Division. Detec-tive A.

Okay to show his picture. He appears to be a white male, and from this country.

Poor Phil, he just doesn’t get it. or maybe he does and he’s just a jerk..
Just out of curiousity was his picture published because he was white or because he was a sexual preditor?
Or are the Detectives attempting to locate other victims who might come forward after seeing his picture and knowing he is in custody and cannot retaliate?
Any identification by any victims that come forward will now be tainted but they can close cases.
If he’s found guilty, he needs to be killed. End of discussion.
Nice hair …
